Tonya Geschke tries to convince Sam Knauft, Andy Hesseltine, and Kendra Heffel that Camp Casey really is Dan Quayle ' s private resort! Feel it! THE BEAT. The sounds of growth, progress, life. Feel it. Hear it. Grasp it. Know its rhythm; feel its pulsating throb. THE BEAT. How did we feel the beat? We became involved. We gave of ourselves as we worked, learned and played together. We felt the beat renew itself at registration when new students merged with the old to form the nucleus of our school; we felt it fortify itself when students and teachers worshipped and shared together. THE BEAT. It traveled with us the entire year. It followed our ups and downs, our achieve¬ ments and failures. Excitement rose as field trips, tours and parties came and went. It soared to breath-taking heights as banquets approached. The once-smooth beat turned frenzied as tests and mid-terms neared— and nearly went off the chart when the word FINALS became part of our vocabulary! THE BEAT. America felt the beat as we shot into space with the successful launching of the Discovery, and again whe n the U.S. walked away with 97 medals in the summer Olympics. Presidential elections and the Washington State Centennial also contribut¬ ed to the never-ending rhythm. THE BEAT. Leave your seat as spectator and feel the beat pound through your memories. Hear it as you recapture the sparkling laugh¬ ter of enjoyment and the groans of test week. Listen! The beat continues . . .

Tony Branson and Kirk j Robinson watch their teams play football f during intermurals. 4 Senior life Make ’em or break ’em” McLean!! They really didn ' t know what to expect when they walked into Elder McLean ' s class¬ room on that first day of school as Seniors. They had heard about those MONSTER tests and LONG memory verses. But what had only once been Junior im agination was now transformed into Senior realization. Need extra credit? Try McLean ' s simple little diet! You only need to drink eight glass¬ es of water a day (and stand in line for the bathroom!), sleep eight hours a night, do deep breathing exercises, do physical exer¬ cises half an hour each day, take a cold shower every morning, limit sweets and eat in moderation. Easy! Anyone can handle that—but for four weeks??! Another catastrophic event was McLean ' s first major test given to the Seniors early in September. Phrases like IT WAS SIX PAGES LONG! and ” know I ' m failing Senior Bible were bemoaned by the Seniors throughtout the day. I loved it! Mike McDonald stated. I got a ' 62!! Elder McLean hasn ' t just been the Senior Bible teacher to our school, but he ' s also been a friend and given counsel when some¬ body needed it . . . not only Seniors, but to the entire school. He sums it all up by deliver¬ ing his teaching philosophy: Without God, you can ' t really do much of anything! —A. Wang McLean ' s diet 5 HIP Studying ended. Seniors readily abandon their books in the Student Lobby. •We have quality educa¬ tion here and an extreme¬ ly friendly staff. 0 —Jim Land T.A.P. testing causes Floy Campbell to have second thoughts on her answers.

Now when we see Freshmen lounge, we wonder to ourselves, We did that? Never! The weeks continute to slide through our fingers-- the last T.A.P. tests (hurray!), the last banquets, Senior trips, College Days, the FINAL finals, and . . GRADUATION. Are you ready for us, world? The very first day at academy, we just knew we weren ' t going to make it through the week, much less the entire four years. The halls were SO big! There certainly was no way we could have classes in every classroom. As Sophomores, there were more people in our class— even though we sensed some missing from the year before. Biology and Geometry fascinated us (well, most of us . . . okay, some of us!)—as did our Worley Bible class! We were finally growing up a little, at least! Summer slipped in, and jobs kept us frantic until we found ourselves back on campus—this time as UPPERCLASSMEN!! More people were missing, but at the same time, our class had suddenly doubled in size. Chemistrysponishalgebroll grabbed us and put us back in our places, stripped—temporarily, at least—of the silent awe we had in our newfound importance. The year moved on through the Junior Senior Banquet and into graduation. Somehow graduation had never really mattered so much until we were really a part of it. When we marched on Sabbath, Mr. Koehn ' s words from the day before were still ringing in ur ears, For all intents and purposes, as you leave your Bible Docs final, you are Seniors. Well, here we are . . .what do you think? Did you do well in shaping our lives? Turn the fol¬ lowing pages. Look closely at our class. Look into our eyes and you will see your future— the future of our nation, the future of our church. Hey, Seniors ... WE MADE ITU! -C. Oellrich Caught reigning in the rain The Seniors know that there are two kinds of raining. There is raining and then there is REIGNING! Six members of our class were caught standing in the reign on Saturday night of Camp Casey. After an hour and a half of nominations, ballot counting, and snatches here and there of Ernest Goes to Camp , we had our leaders. Mr. Priest commented that the count was so close, we could almost have had three Senior class presidents! Friday night and Sabbath the foundation was built for the elections. The charades for vespers and singing around the campfire for afterglow helped to draw the Seniors to¬ gether. Kathy Cushman noted, The whole class came together; it was really incredi¬ ble. It wasn ' t just the meetings, though—it was walking the beach, scrambling through the bunkers, a trip to Deception Pass for some, or maybe getting up early to watch the sunrise with a close friend. The freedom we felt as Seniors was tremendous. stated Cathryn Schnacken- berg. Wendy Reynolds felt The weekend helped us become better friends, but the best part was the freedom, and being treat¬ ed as adults. There was an excitement—a feeling of, We ' re really Seniors! that pre¬ vailed throughout the entire weekend. By the time it came to elect officers, we knew one another much better, and we could really say we were closer friends. All too soon the weekend ended, and it was time to hit the books once again. It was also time to support our officers and to make this year the best one yet—and to prove that we truly were A Beat Above all others. —C.

Well, if all this sounds interesting to you, Cheryl Vliet is of the same mind-set! Cheryl has wanted to fly ever since age seven. During her Sophomore year she start¬ ed with ground school and this year signed up for aviation. She took the plane up for the first time on a Thursday afternoon shortly after school started. How was it? Very weird! she reported. Landing, I couldn ' t see the ground and Mr. Hyde said ' We should be touching the down any time now. ' Laughingly, she added that until they touched down, she was wondering if it was really there at all! Cheryl ' s other hobbies include remote control cars, and she hopes to soon rebuild a ' 65- ' 67 Shelby Mustang into show condi¬ tion. What do these three hobbies have in common? Well guys, I ' d say it ' s a sure sign to look out! This girl is into POWER! —C.

We ' ve all gasped in astonish¬ ment and awe at the daring and skillful stunts he displays. Joel Stirling started riding his bike when he was six. Joel admits that he likes being a little different than average. Anyone can ride a BMX bike around a track, but not everyone can do free-styling unless they practice and work hard at it, he says. Most of his tricks and stunts come from magazine articles. Some of his stunts have exciting names like Cherry Pickers, Miami Hopper , and Rolling Gut LeversI Not just anyone can hop on a bike and try these stunts. There are special parts on Joel ' s bike that allow him to try newer and more advanced stunts. Some of these spe¬ cial parts include: an Oddesy Gyro—which allows the front end of the bike to spin freely without winding up the back brake cable, axel pegs for tricks and a lowered crossbar on the handle bars for jumping over. He ' s ridden in two shows with other freestyle riders. Joel admits that with a regular driver ' s license now, he tends to use the more con¬ ventional mode of transportation! —H.

Cindy hopes to compete in the 1992 Olympics! •Nothing relieves stress like graduation!• —Valerie Taylor Kirk Robinson Tony Rogers Laurie Ross Dionne Rowe Cindy goes for gold Cindy Lathrop sat tensed and waiting in anticipation for her final run of the day. Dex—her horse—shifted his weight from one leg to the other. The judge nodded his head to begin. After finishing all the require¬ ments, Cindy ' s final standing in the third-level dressage was seventh for the 1988 National Championships. She had won the highest young junior rider award on the training lev¬ el. Cindy has been training for five years with the Donida Farm Dressage Team. Some of the four horses she has ridden have won regional and national championships. To prepare for these shows, Cindy practices at least two hours daily. Although she is very modest about her accomplishments and those of the team, Cindy is really very proud of the trainers and the horses. Other awards Cindy has won include the Best Over-All Pony Club award and the Best-Over-All Dressage. Her future goal is to ride in the 1992 Summer Olympics. See you there, Cindy! —P.

Being a Junior, Jennifer Phillips discovers that extra concentration is sometimes needed to keep her grades up to her usual high level. A great place to study, socialize and relax, Obie Bowen, Larry Won, Hannah Cho, and Beth Lamb spend some of their noon- hour time in the student lobby. UNDERCLASSMEN!!— what would we do without them ? Although there are no more Walton’s lunch pails, big ice-cream cone grins minus 2 front teeth, or matchbox cars and football card collections (that they would admit to), Auburn Academy underclass¬ men have their own unique characteristics. Now, sporting tin grins and wearing the scent of Clearasil, they make up three elite groups; all different, yet united together under that same discriptive title—UNDERCLASSMEN!! “I was scared to death when I first came here, but now I’ve met a lot of people and made many new friends,” states Freshman Kevin Lambeth. At the beginning of the year, it is traditional to see the Freshmen intently studying class schedules and rushing frantically to that first imposing class. Throughout the year, ho wever, we can see their increasing confidence and ability to fit in. The Sophomores seem to possess an added self-assurance and show more responsi¬ bility. ‘‘When I came to Auburn last year,” Jeff Morris said, “it seemed huge. But now that I know so many people, it just seems like family.” The class was no longer lowest on the totem pole. They now had one year behind them. They began to take their studies seriously. Juniors, the ‘‘upper underclassmen” had finally arrived! They looked forward to a busy year—and a challenging one. They studied harder, worked harder, played harder. They knew they had grown—both intellectually and socially. They planned for ban¬ quets, picnics, and graduation. In one way or another, each class made an important contributation to our school, for every individual contributed to the BEAT of tomorrow. —R.

Chris Davis Rusty Detamore Jodi Donaldson Dan Ellis 20 Junior officers Too hot to beat! Sitting in an officers meeting in the cafe, an endless list of places to hold the Jr Sr Ban¬ quet raced through their minds. A pencil poke in the side interrupted Andre Wang at 23 — Pizza Hut. The boss, Heidi Fritz, whis¬ pered a new idea in his ear. The idea rapidly spread around the weekly meeting table; low, tense discussion erupted. “Is it feasi¬ ble?” They all agreed it was. The six of them got their lists of places to call and the meeting adjourned. After visiting and viewing five possible locations—and what seemed like a million phone calls later—reality set in. “How many will they hold?” “How much will it cost?” “Will they have enough food for all of us?” “Are there any cockroaches?” The officers and sponsors met and re¬ viewed the possibilities approximately 8,000 additional times. April 2, 1989 had been per¬ manently beat into their memory. It was the beginning of November and they were still looking! The time, agony and frustration put into this process was beyond words; but working together as a team, planning and organizing events for their class, and success¬ fully carrying those plans to completion was the job they had been elected to do as offi¬ cers. The pressure was on. The die was cut; they were proved in the fire of high expecta¬ tion. As officers, they served their class well; as Juniors, they were certainly too hot to beat! —A.

Among the members of the Junior class were some interesting names of one sort or another, and there were several nicknames that were certainly unusual.

Michelle Mayhew Joey McCamman Denise McGill Lee McGill Wes McKey Darren Milam Debbie Miller Janinne Mishkin Randy Moore You can say that again When you walked down the halls or over¬ heard conversations in the dorm, you prob¬ ably heard many different sayings, but they all seemed to be pretty much the same. Most of these words or phrases were ones that we wouldn’t be caught dead saying next year. So, we decided to find some phrases that are unique and never go out of date—especially around here. We sent out a survey to the underclassmen and asked them what their favorite sayings were, and these were what they came up with: —I can’t eat that—I’m on Mclean’s diet! —I’ll do my homework TOMMORROW. —Smile, or gravity will pull your face off! — Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure let’s you choose your own form of misery. — Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of time. — Don’t let today ruin tomorrow. —Dad, send money! —Sounds like a personal problem to me. —D.

Christina Hoxie is no exception as she prepares to do her final drive with her instructor before taking her test. 26 Drive ’em Maricar Tolentino Heather Tooley Peter Vangtal Denise Veach Heidi Weiss Brett Wilkerson Joel Wolverton Donna Woodcock It sure beats walking “HELP HOW DO YOU STOP THIS THING?! might well have been the formost plea from the mouth of many first-time driv¬ er’s ed. students when they took the wheel for that first time. Or, another question: “You don’t really expect me to parallel park there, do you?” If you’re honest with your memory, you’ve been there, too! The experience may have been terrifying—especially that first time. The fear is not something you ever admitted aloud, however! Remember trying to figure out which pedal made you stop—and you were fifty feet (and closing) from of the inter¬ section? Remember driving ten miles per hour and thinking that was too fast?! Most of the students who took Mr. Kil¬ gore’s Traffic Safety Education class rated it quite high. It’s a class that they all enjoyed very much. This year, two classes were taught in Spady Hall versus the usual one per semester taught in the past. The actual “in¬ motion driving” was taught by a very tena¬ cious—and brave—Tom May from the De¬ fensive Driving School. Mr. Kilgore had an oft repeated reminder for his students—“Don’t forget your driver’s permit!” Ross - Zirkle 27 Carl Aus Daryl Berden Diane Berecz Jennifer Brown Leanne Bunnell Chris Cassingham Sophomore Officers: Heather Ordelheide, Spiritu¬ al Vice President, Todd Nelson, Sgt.-at-Arms; Bob Thayne, President; Eric Wentland, Social Vice Presi¬ dent; Corby Cumbo, Treasurer; Shelly Donahey, Sec¬ retary. A beat above “Who should we elect for President?—or Vice President?” These questions and many others were flashed back and forth among Sophomores as they gathered for their class elections. Mr. Hyde and Mrs. Syphers the class sponsors, soon got the excited voices some¬ what under control and the class elections were under way. Nominations were taken for President, and quickly narrowed down to two people, Eric Wentland and Bob Thayne. The voting was close; Bob Thayne winning by the narrow mar¬ gin of two votes. The voting continued and Eric Wentland came back to win Social Vice Presi¬ dent. The other officers were; Heather Ordel¬ heide, Spiritual Vice President; Shelly Dona¬ hey, Secretary; Corby Cumbo, Treasurer; Todd Nelson, Sgt.-at-Arms. Bob Thayne “wants to get as much done as possible. First, we need to find out just what the class wants and what resources are avail¬ able,” he reported. —C.

Well, the faculty know! They divide the dormi¬ tories into teams, and the games and the good times begin! Of course the first game had to be one where you must use your brain (could it be otherwise when teachers organize things?!) to solve small addition problems, find the square root of 625—which everybody knew was 25—and race the clock to find answers. Mr. Serrano commented, “I think it was great. The games were all very creative, and the kids were able to stretch their brains and still have fun!” Imagine trying to transfer a lifesaver from a toothpick in your mouth to a verti¬ cal stick on a table; or how about running an obstical course around posts, over scaffolding, under ping-pong tables, and over the pommel horse! One of the most exciting events to watch, however, was the when we painstakenly took marbles from one bowl to the other—with CHOP¬ STICKS of course! Though it proved slightly difficult for many Americans, our Oriental students really succeeded here! —A.

This was when the class met together officially for the first time to feel their pulse and decide who might serve them best as leaders. They weren’t sure just what they needed leaders to do, but they knew there would surely be some activi¬ ties that would merit having officers. In fact, rumor had it that there was a class party to plan—and even a picnic in the spring! While these may not have been earth-shat¬ tering events, they have proved in the past to be a great “training-ground” for the officers in planning and organizing events. The group began to look forward to an exciting four years together as a class. President Rick Armstrong had this to say about his class: “The Freshmen are wonder¬ ful. They are easy to get along with and fun to be around. We’re going to have a great year!” —P.

This was a grueling test designed to assess the students five health-related compo¬ nents. These areas include: aerobic en¬ durance, body composition, flexibility, up¬ per body muscular strength and endur¬ ance, and abdominal muscular endurance. Moans and groans could be heard as students passed through the different check-off points. Many were seen dou¬ bled over, holding their sides as they ran their one mile and pushed themselves to beat! do as many sit-ups as possible in one minute. Faces blushed as they had their body fat measured by Mr. Taggert and had their weight checked my Mrs. Nelson. “Youth are becomming less and less fit. Students should be aware of their fit¬ ness weakness so that exercise will be taken into consideration,’’ commented Mr. Kilgore. “This is one of the main rea¬ sons for this test.’’ —R.

Another day filled with appoint¬ ments sometimes can sometimes be overwhelming for Mr. Gatchet If you ever did a little name-dropping at the hair stylist’s or the body shop and mentioned the name of your school, it was a guaranteed double-take! The first response was probably “Oh, really?’’ then “Where’s that?’’ and tentatively—as if you were the latest Einstein to grace the planet—’’Is It hard?” When someone who has never attended a private school knows that you do, it’s suddenly as if they were cutting Princess Di’s hair or fixing Lee Iacocca’s car! The first assumption made about a private school was that you had to have been the smartest—not to mention the richest—person on the block to have been able to attend. Well, we knew differently. For one, not everyone here had a 4.0 G.P.A. It would have been nice if we did, but we didn’t all have the same talents. Academics here wasn’t as hard as most “outsiders’’ may have thought, but it probably wasn’t as easy as most high schools either. For example, on the University of Washington’s Freshman Entrance Ex¬ ams, the average Auburn graduate has consistently placed ten to fifteen percent higher than the average public school graduate; and an Auburn alumni was chosen for the position of head of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Boeing. Information like that backed up what we already knew—our school has produced some great minds and has already proved itself more than competent in success¬ fully beating the odds! The following pages show something special to this school—a spirit of inquisi¬ tiveness, and a quest for knowledge. You will view the classes that determined what our beat was to become. You will see the dedication and purpose of the staff and students alike. We were determined to beat the odds, and we believe that the education offered here could help us in doing just that. —C. Oellrich Are you sleeping?! Brenda James takes the infamous “gong” to Chad Daniels in Mr. Koehn’s Bible class. The study of mankind Humanities—the study of mankind—includes the cultural heritage as well as the historical re¬ cord of the people. We studied Humanities through both our Bible and History classes. We lived through Quizes, Quests, and Tests of Major Magnitude! Memory work became our second name. Assignments became overwhelming! Our Bible teachers all had the same objective for their Bible class—they wanted to teach a lov¬ ing and forgiving God to their students, and to help each individual find that relationship with Christ that is so vital. Another Humanities class taught was Psycholo¬ gy. McLean wanted his Psychology students “to understand the principles of human behavior so that they may more wisely choose the direction of their life.” Mark Cooper felt “there was an ex¬ treme amount of reading to do, and you really had to study, but I gained a lot from the class.” Our History classes taught us more than “Co¬ lumbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteen hundred ninety two.” What we rea y learned was how important it is to have “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ ' Mr. Miller’s wanted his class “to learn how our country has been shaped, and what events led to its making—but most importantly, how God directly led in the molding of our coun¬ try.” —A. Mullin Leisure Time. Mr. Worley gets comfortable while teaching his Sophomore Bible class. “And the Bill of Rights ...” Mr. Miller is teaching about the constitution, a vital part of our his¬ tory. 40 Academics, Humanities Ahlberg, Cliff Plant Engineer Ahlberg, Doreen Food Service Ahlberg, Jean Food Service Aldridge, Dave Ambassador Communications Allen, Tom Industrial Arts Physics Beck, Brandon Band, Wind Ensemble Beck, KarrLaynn PR, Swimming Staff, Ahlberg - Beck 41 Going to school in a foreign country cannot be easy — especial¬ ly if you don’t speak the language fluently. Paul Ma, Tsuyoshi Hana- shiro and Kinjo Satoru listen care¬ fully as Mrs. Crays repeats sounds unfamiliar to them. Easier done than said “My main goal is to teach students not only to survive but to have an abundant life.” Mrs. Syphers told us. “I want to teach them to write properly and to help them to appreciate the finer things in life.” These objectives were held by all the teachers in our English Language depart¬ ment. Our foreign language instructor, Mr. Ser¬ rano—who has been teaching here for three years—reported that he wants “to challenge stu¬ dents to look into some other way of communica¬ tion so that they will see the benefit of being able to speak not only their own language but another language as well.” The students particularly en¬ joyed his Spanish song fests and Spanish movies! Another class taught this year specifically for our foreign students from the Orient was entitled “English as a Foreign Language .” Mrs. Crays— who has spent many years in foreign service—co¬ taught this class with Mr. Gatchet. Gatchet’s part of the class helped them to meet their Bible re¬ quirements. —C.

It may look like Mr. McKey is braiding Tom Hamel’s hair, but he really is helping Tom solve a computer problem. Get down to business The rapid growth that occurred in the business world in the past few years was remarkable. For many people, we progressed from the days of manual typewriters to home computers.“Techno¬ logy has advanced so fast that we must keep pushing ourselves to keep up with it. Otherwise it will very likely surpass us,” stated Dan Ham¬ mond, computer lab reader. Mr. McKey, Per¬ sonal Computing instructor, was not going to let us be overrun by these unhuman minds. In order to graduate from Auburn, one semester of Per¬ sonal Computing—which teaches the essentials of computing—was required. Other business classes offered were Account¬ ing, Word Processing, Computer Programming, Office Practice, and—the basic class of all busi¬ ness classes—Typewriting. Wherever computers may be headed in the future, we need to keep them in perspective. Mrs. Willison, Business Education instructor, comment¬ ed, “Computers are a tool, not a way of life. We do need to keep pace with them, or we certainly will not be able to compete in the business world. However, they will never take the place of kind, caring people working in business.” —D. Parkhurst Mrs. Willison takes time to in¬ struct Deana Barnhart on how to use the dictaphone during Office Practice class.

Band and Wind Ensemble, directed by Bran¬ don Beck, were our instrumental organizations; Choir and Sylvan, directed by Gennie Kibble, were our singing groups. Wind Ensemble and Syl¬ van, along with String Ensemble, directed by Le- Roy Weber, often tou red various churches within our conference to give performances. Art class was taught by Willem Schallig, a local artist. Although you may not have had a chance to see these talented students actually “perform”, their work was displayed at the end of the year for everyone to enjoy. — P. Dietrich “One, two, three . . .

E.L.S. (Essential Living Skills) was usually taken by Freshmen. The class was divided into two sections. E.L.S. A was offered by Mrs. Kil¬ gore, who taught basic cooking skills, clothing care and good grooming habits; and E.L.S. B, taught by Mr. Hyde and Mr. Allen, which covered subject areas such as home repair and upkeep and basic automotive care. For the older students, Mrs. Kilgore also of¬ fered classes in Foreign Foods and Child Care. Mr. Hyde taught Auto Mechanics, Woodworking, and Metals; Mr. Allen, Photography, Drafting, C.A.D.D., and Electronics; and Mr. Kilgore taught several classes in Traffic Safety Education. Brenna Sanders expressed the views of many by saying, “Industrial Art classes have been some of the most interesting and probably the most fun of all my classes.” — M.

Serious homework spoken here Math —the word struck terror in the hearts of many as their minds conjured up visions of sines, proofs, integrations, and logs. Fortunately for us, we had some of the best teachers around to help out those with problems. In addition to Basic and Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 2, and Pre-Calculus classes, Honors Algebra 2 was offered for the first time this year. This unique class was designed for students with a high interest in math and wanted to cover more challenging material. Basic and Regular Geometry went well also. Mr. Priest commented, “Although this class start¬ ed out a little slow, now that everyone has caught on, we have done very well.” The Science classes, which included Biology I, Chemistry, Physical Science, Physics, and Electronics En¬ ergy, were quite active. Aside from normal class work, there were interesting field trips to places such as the Pacific Science Center, Boeing, McCord Air Force Base, the Birth Defect Center in Seattle, and the Aquarium. Miss Toop said that science helps in developing the students’ analyt¬ ical abilities—which are especially helpful when combining math and science in subjects like Phys¬ ics. —R. Sohn “Wait a minute!

Pick your sport Did the word “P.E.” cause butterflies to flut¬ ter in your tummy? Did you have visions of a tyrant with a whistle yelling “Okay class, give me fifty-pushups on your knuckles!” Did the mere word “Physical Education”, and the thought of taking the class puts you in a coma? It didn’t if you considerd the alternatives for P.E. credits offered here: swimming, lifesaving, ski¬ ing, scuba diving, and beginning and advanced gymnastics. We have several different kinds of Physical Education classes; basic P.E., advanced P.E., and team sports. Mr. Kilgore—who has been teaching P.E. for 14 years—said, “The goal I have for my students is that they develop skills in different sports and that they have more knowledge and understanding of the games and rules.” As a new requirement for graduation this year, all students needed to take one semester of Health. “The objectives of this class are to make the students more aware of what health is and how to become more healthy,” Kilgore re¬ ported. After completing two years of Physical Education and one semester of Health, all the students should have a better grasp of how im¬ portant it is to stay healthy. —H.

The heartbeat of a body must always have a consistent, continual rhythm. If this beat is interrupted, the rhythm will be broken and the body will fail to function. This year, the student body had a beat of its own. Whether it was physical, spiritual, academic, or social, it was those rhythms that contributed to the unified performance of this school. At banquets, we felt the beat inside us as we gazed into the eyes of our special dates. In school, we felt it pounding hard under the pressure of our semester finals. And spiritually, the heartbeat no longer was ours—but that of Christ’s. It was these things that provided a way for each part of us to express our individuality, while we learned to relate together. We realized the importance of human relationships, academic standards, group activities, work, and — most importantly — our direct link to Christ. This beat provided the stability to make us function successfully; yet express the unique individuality each one of us had, and the common goal we fought to achieve. This beat was meant to last a lifetime. — A. Wang Study, study, study!

Sometimes we take it for granted; other times we take the week seriously. ! really appreciate our Week of Prayer sessions, because the teachers un¬ derstand and give less assignments; plus I can get away and spend a lot more time with God than I usually do ' said Sam Gramlich. This years ' Fall Week of Prayer focused on relationships—with our friends, with our family, and with our God. That ' s the topic Pastor Doug Sharp presented for us to pon¬ der. Pastor Doug shared the key: We ' re so caught up in our daily routine with our rela¬ tionships with other people, we don ' t stop in our tracks to recognize our relationship with God. In mid-January came the most influencing of our spiritual heartbeat—Student Week of Prayer. We saw our own friends calling attention, not to themselves, but to God. The theme of this week was, In Focus with the Master . These talks were based on the book of John. Articulate, dynamic, and powerful can only begin to describe the message our fellow students sent us during that week.

There would have been no Vespers, Sabbath School and Church or evening worships, no Caroling, AY A activities or Week-of-Prayer speakers. There would have been no spiritual atmo¬ sphere here, and no percievable differ¬ ence between our school and any pub¬ lic high-school. Our spiritual experience happened in many forms on our campus. Within our church, we were not unique in be¬ lieving that we personally need daily contact with our God. Our school struc¬ ture nurtured that philosophy by our daily dormitory worship services, our Bible classes, our Christian teachers, and our formal Sabbath observance and worship services. We could participate in prayer bands and branch Sabbath Schools. We could help with the children’s story during church. We contributed by join¬ ing the Usher’s Club, typing church bul¬ letins, or working with the P.A. system. We had opportunity to spend a Sab¬ bath day in the mountains and enjoy nature and Christian fellowship. We were spiritually uplifted by Pastor Nel¬ son’s sermons and music each week. Our personal comittment was able to take hold and grow stronger. What picture of our school could we possibly imagine if we were to picture it without this spiritual aspect? —or what reason for our school’s existence? — D. Parkhurst Helping things go smoothly, Usher ' s Club members Sandi Hop¬ kins and Karen Taylor pass out programs at the door for the Christmas Musical Concert. 58 Student life Sabbath morning worship ser¬ vices offer a moment in quiet prop¬ er for John Gordon, Wes McKep, and Dan Neuharth.

Fire destroys building Sea-Tac-Pac, one of the several on- campus industries which supplies jobs for our unique work-study program, ex¬ perienced a three- alarm fire which started on the roof of the building affec¬ tionately known as the Gold Palace. The fire quickly spread to where Sea- Tac-Pac’s equipment packaging, sort¬ ing, and piece-work equipment was lo¬ cated, and caused $200,000 dollars damage. The three dozen students who worked there moved to the buildings next to Andco Industries and continued their production with little lapse in time. In spite of all the turmoil the fire has created, our other campus industries have been doing very well. Six-Pac In¬ dustries, which produces canopy shells for pickup trucks, is rapidly increasing their production output. The new branch of the once California-based company has been experiencing a rap¬ id growth. They currently employ 31 students, and they hope to increase the number to 50 by the end of the year. They are beginning to expand their production line, too. Our door manufacturing company, Andco, employs 2 students. Alder doors are produced by using wooden pegs and glue and a machine that clamps the pieces together to complete the process. Beall Orchid Company employes 4 student employees who do a variety of jobs from general care of the thousands of orchids to transplanting the tiny seedlings so that the flowers can start the 7-year process of growing into blooming plants.

Michelle Sohn concentrates on pasting book flaps on books in the library. May I help you? Which people had the best jobs on campus? Office workers of course! This was obviously a biased opinion— extended by (who else) office workers! These students were a vital part of our school — they graded papers, an¬ swered phones, shelved books, ran the copy machine, and did a ’zillion’ other things that needed to be done. Most office workers really enjoyed their jobs. When asked about working in the Busi¬ ness Office, Jon Oellrich said, “I’d rather work here than anywhere else!” Nicole Washington, the registrar’s sec¬ retary stated, “I meet a lot of people in an office and learn job skills that I can use in the future.” Jodi Donaldson adds, “I like my job at the attendance office because you know who’s in trou¬ ble and who’s not!” Another aspect of this type of job were the students who helped our dor¬ mitories run smoothly. These jobs in¬ cl uded the RA’s, desk workers and switchboard operators. But life in an office job wasn’t always so wonderful. There often was a lot of responsibility and stress involved. Readers, for example, must help teachers with grades, on top of taking their own exams at the end of each quarter; and RA’s are not always the most popular people during study peri¬ od!

But did you ever stop to think who had put out the clean plates and the food? Students do the cooking and the cleaning at the cafeteria. They go there to work for 3-4 hours a day to provide that essential element of survival. They clean up the messes that inevitably occur on the tables and sweep up the bits of broken glass that comes from an occasional dropped plate. But what of those who perhaps didn ' t want to work in the cafeteria? Many of those students went to work at McDonald ' s or Rainier Natural Foods! These people ex¬ perienced what it was like to work with the public every day. They worked the window, they fried burgers and made milkshakes or worked in the bakery. Many have become trainers and have received pins for their good work. —A.

We’ll fix it Who were those mysterious people screeching around in those little white Cushmans? Or those who periodically gave our lawns a cut and rake job? Then there were the guys that we tripped over in the hall when they were vacuuming our carpets or dusting the window sills of the administration build¬ ing. And how about those fellows who ventured into the unknown dangers of the girls dormitory to fix broken closet doors, leaky sinks, and to replace drawer fronts severed from their main body? These people were the valiant work¬ ers of our Grounds, Maintenance, and Janitorial departments. Their main concerns were the careful upkeep of our campus and buildings. They put up the fence next to the music building, and solved our leaky roof problems. Who is behind these wonder people who do so much? —none other than Mr. Farver, Mr. Freitas, Mr. Ahlberg, and Mr. Carver. These men organize and keep the students on their toes. They are also highly respected by the students who worked for them.

No dull weekends with A.S.B. “Deadline” became the ultimate horror word for our A.S.B. officers as they worked to lay plans for the school year. The first A.S.B. activity involved the entire school as everyone intro¬ duced themselves to everyone else. Re¬ turning students greeted friends they hadn’t seen all summer. New students, fearful and nervous of the strange rit¬ ual of shaking everyone’s hand, were greeted warmly by the “oldies.” This annual event, better known as “hand¬ shake”, was it’s usual success despite tired hands and faces weary from smil¬ ing! Through diligent planning, all the of¬ ficers’ hard work paid off as sudents took part in Mountain Outing, Faculty Home Parties, New Student Talent, Christmas Banquet, and Spirit Week. The pace continued frantically through semester elections, Leadership Day, and concluded with a grand finalle, the A.S.B. slide show. — P.

The beat of Fall Depending on how hard you looked for excitement, you probably discov¬ ered that you were on an activity- packed Fall campus. However, if you were “just coasting” and pretty much convinced that there really wasn’t any¬ thing to do, you were probably in a minority. There were a lot of ways to keep boredom from taking over. The ideas listed here were just a few of thousands! Let’s pretend ... To guarantee nev¬ er-ending action, you became a part of A.S.B. last spring. Then, in August, you found yourself beginning to plan an endless list of events, such as the A.S.B. Handshake and Fall Picnic— traditions of students getting acquaint¬ ed and reacquainted through games and “mingling”. And if on-campus excitement wasn’t enough, the Northwest History Tour surely kept you busy. The highlight of the trip for nearly everyone who went was the day spent on (or in) the white water of the Salmon River. You couldn’t get much more excitement than in a two-person inflatable kayak on class-three rapids! Some of our leaders attended the Leadership Conference. If you were an “average” Junior or Senior (not hold¬ ing an office) and you wanted to do something that would enrich your life—you signed up for Bible Confer¬ ence.

But the cafeteria wasn’t the cafete¬ ria anymore! Overnight it had been transformed into a tropical island. Lit¬ tle grass huts decorated the stage and tables. Palm trees were scattered here and there. The food was transformed into islanders’ food, consisting of tropi¬ cal fruit, Nui Ono Ono Bread (Hawai¬ ian Bread), and Teriyaki. After the delicious meal, everyone got ready to enjoy the special enter¬ tainment. “Rainbow of Hawaii,” straight from those tropical islands, performed many dances that guys loved, faculty tolerated, and girls talked about for days afterward.

A kiddies’ Christmas Witzel Hall just seemed like a mess. Men with handfuls of “hair goop” put the finishing touches on their hair for the ninth time. They burst out the doors with their dates corsages in one hand, simultaneously fixing the knot of their tie with the other. Nervous glances were given to each other as the vicinity of the boys dorm smelled like a cologne factory. Meanwhile, in Nelson Hall, girls were uttering an ocassional scream as they were being burned by curling irons or discovered runs in their nylons. But eventually, they did come down to greet their dates. With arms inter¬ locked, the couples went to see their adopted children. “It was something new and different we thought ASB could do to get the sharing and giving into Christmas”, said ASB president Kendra Heffel. Couples had the opportunity to “adopt” an underprivileged child, buy him or her a present and spend an hour getting to know their child. After watching a series of cartoons, they re¬ turned the kids to the arms of their parents and then the banquet began. Ooooooohs and Ahhhhhhs were gushed as the students entered the un¬ usually exquisite and ethereal dining room. The tables were draped with red tablecloths and the ceiling laced with Christmas lights. The students had a hard time believing that this was actual¬ ly the cafeterial As dinner was being served, Sharon Spady performed beautiful Christmas music on the pi¬ ano. After the pictures were taken and the socializing was ended, the couples then made their was to the chapel to view “An American Tale”. “It was wonderful!” commented Mario Betita, “ASB did an excellent job!” The gen¬ tlemen escorted their dates back to Nelson Hall and, there, bid each other good night and a Merry Christmas. — A.

Most of them felt the same about the pros and cons of being a day student. “I like living at home, but sometimes it would be nice to have friends right by you to talk and do homework with,” says Tom Edwards. Hannah Cho, who has exper¬ ienced both lives said, “I think I like the dorm better because you get closer to your friends and know more about what’s going on.” Most agree that life isn’t perfect in either place, but you could have a lot of fun wherever you live—if you decide to! —R.

Gymnastics is a self-competa- tive sport: an art that requires practice, strength, agility, coordi¬ nation and grace to perform acrobatic feats. Many facets of gymnastics are exhibited in the shows. A few of these are vaulting, floor, and acrosports. Many hours of plan¬ ning and work go into the shows performed on tour around Washington conference. The first tour took the team to Walla Wal¬ la for a Tri-College Gymnastics Clinic. Three days were spent sharing and learning new stunts with academies and colleges that attended. —H.

The mis¬ sion: To bring an inspiritional message to its audiences. The medium: drama. The drama club continued to be in de¬ mand throughout the year as performances were request¬ ed. Experciences gained from working together in a group such as this were unique in many ways. The frustrations and hard work memorizing lines created a sense of “fam¬ ily” among the team mem¬ ber s.

The Glance , newspaper (in¬ cluding Rainier Echoes), and yearbook are important me¬ dia for the school—students writing their opinions and thoughts for their peers to read and contemplate. The Direct Connection made changes this year towards a more typical paper format and the use of laser graphics. The Rainier Vista also aimed for a more upbeat and outstanding yearbook with new layout designs and eye¬ catching cover and division pages. Of course, the Glance was our source for the latest on the newest students and for the newest on the “old stu¬ dents”. “The publications we have,” stated Mrs. Zbaras- chuk, “are a structured form in which the students may ex¬ pound on their curiosities and show their creativity and ideas.” —A.

Wind Ensemble and Concert Band had an exciting year with Maestro Beck in charge. Concert Band con¬ sisted of a several select members, plus the Wind Ensemble. Both groups played a wide variety of music, and performed several concerts here at the school. The touring group, Wind Ensemble, was accepted to play in Disneyland and also gave concerts at churches in Washington, Oregon, and California, and participated in a band clinic at Walla Walla College.

It happened twice this year in Dower Chapel—the place where forty-seven ASB administrations have changed hands. Leaders were elected to plan and orga¬ nize events for the student body. These events included Registra¬ tion Day Handshake, Sunset Lake Outing, Christmas Banquet, Spirit Week, ASB Slide Show, and var¬ ious other events. But backing up ASB was a more-or-less hidden organization, —the ASB Senate.

How about Re¬ mote Control Club and Bike Club? These clubs may not have gained as much fame as some, but that doesn ' t make them any less interesting to some people. The only requirement for membership in either of these clubs was inter¬ est, dedication, and effort. Neither of these clubs were in¬ volved in tours (other than across the countryside), banquets, or tal¬ ent shows.

The club was open to anyone; there were no membership dues; members could join or drop out at any time. One of the by-products of club membership was social growth and self-confidence. Another might be memories of social blunders, or of a sweet first kiss. Several stu¬ dents admitted to these“first kiss” stories: -I was six years old—he was in the same grade—and we both got in trouble. We were sent to the back of the classroom and he leaned over and kissed me—on my lips in front of ev¬ erybody! -I was in Kindergarden in a cardboard castle. It was two stories high and we were on top of it. It was so romantic! I felt like we were Romeo and Juliet! -We were in eighth grade— outside the 6th grade room on Valentines day. He asked me to go with him on his birthday three days later. But, he’s SO conceited now! -We were in the first grade and I was moving away.

Unfortunately, no matter how convinced the team was that they would come out on top, only one team was victorious. In the final seconds of basketball and the game point of volleyball, excitement and tension between the teams was inevitable. Roars of the crowd cheered favorite teams on through astounding plays, good sportsmanship, and victory that sometimes beat the odds. Specta¬ tors ocassionally shot at referees for concieved unfair calls made against the more popular team members. Intramurals took on a new meaning for many couples on campus—not only was it a time to be a part of the student body socially, but also a time to share their sports interests. Most of the ' unattached people ' used this ninty minute play-period to get more involved with the scheduled sports than with the opposite sex! Sports had its emotional highs and its devastating lows, as individuals and teams won or lost in the continuing struggle for victory and letters. Through participation, each of us has hopefully discovered a way to improve skills and better our part in the next team that won ' t be beat! —P. Dietrich 104 Sports • like the individual goals that you can reach, and I think sports help you reach those goals. 9 —Kyle Herbel Do your own thing Everyone participated in some type of sport this year. The range was incredibly wide—from tennis with the machine, to run¬ ning desperately across campus to avoid the fifteenth tardy—we were all active in one way or another! Swimming, weight-lifting, tennis, pickle ball, ping pong, skateboarding, arm-wres¬ tling, jogging, biking, walking, golf, horse¬ back riding, mountain climbing, and aero¬ bics were just the beginning of an endless list that means do something! Some of us may not have particularly been into team sports, but being involved in individual sports gave us an outlet for our energy and a sense of satisfaction as we became more skilled in our activity. Playing hackey-sack is like many of life ' s chal¬ lenges, reported Mr. Gatchet. Satisfac¬ tion and success only come after patience and perserverance. Whichever you chose for your fitness program or just for fun, your perseverance level, health, and sense of well-being, surely increased! —C. Oellrich In a show of daring and skill, Mike Goudy demonstrates talents many may never at¬ tempt. Joel Stirling comes down from a death-de¬ fying run on his snow board. Individual sports 105 • The teams were very evenly matched and the competitive level was very high —Ben Jackson Nothing beats football Rummaging through your closet, you fi¬ nally found the shoebox you wanted. You fondly opened up the lid and pulled out your old, worn cleats. Shoving your feet into them and donning your oldest, holiest sweats, you ran down the stairs and scampered across the campus to the football field. Someone you knew yelled for you to head out for a long pass! Feeling the football sting your chest, you pulled the ball close. You had just caught your first football pass of the year! Hopefully, there would be many more to come. Football season opened with about 85 guys and 40 gals showing up for tryouts. At the start of the season, days were long and the weather perfect for football; but when time changed in the Fall, the games usually ended in the dark. The competition was very high this year, with each team straining for first place. Assistant boys ' dean Lance Tag¬ gart said I was very impressed with the good sportmanship attitude this year. I ' m glad that so many people participated. —H. Weiss 106 Sports Playing as well as the fel¬ lows, Weiss ' team took a vic¬ torious lead. Dear God, help us to be good sports.

You have to be fast to work the ball up to the opposing team ' s goal and shoot the ball pass the goalie and into the net. With this objective in mind, the teams went out on Sundays and clashed in fierce competition. The co-ed games were played on the field behind Nelson Hall—rain or shine. An exciting dimension to the game was often the Seattle rain—and then, of course, the mud. Playing soccer in these slippery conditions added to the amusement of the audience and the frustration of the teams. The players soon became coated with many layers of this gooey stuff. Brief breaks in the game came when an attempted goal over¬ shot and went over the fence at the main- tance building. At the end of soccer season, Rich Tyler ' s team came out on top of the pack. Soccer had a large participation and was enjoyed by many students and staff members. —M. Cooper Soccer 109 Somebody’s got to do it! Kevin Yamamoto and Donovan Watkins discover that playing is much more fun than officiating. Bump, set, spike! All the players felt it—a rythym that incorporated teamworkship and en¬ sured victory. “Bump. Set. Spike!” Throughout the recreation periods of November and December, the scene was intense with copious concentration and competition. “If you can’t work to¬ gether as a team, volleyball just doesn’t work!” said Dean Lance Taggart. Both in A B leagues, volleyballs flew through the air, were bumped against trained arms, and set over nets only to be slammed to the other side by skilled Auburn atheletes. Both leagues experienced bitter championship games. In A league, Jason Hilde’s team emerged victorious. And in B league, John Lambeth’s nurtured and able team won the crown. Girls league had a great season as well, with Rhonda Wade’s team win¬ ning the championship. Ray Gosset summed up the attitude of the season, saying,“Volleyball is only a game, but it’s weird how most guys put their whole life in it!” —A. Wang 110 Sports “In your face, Jeff!!” screams Andy Hesseltine as his spike flies through the hands of Jeff Jensen. Watching for the ball to come down, Andy Hesseltine, Randy Bol¬ linger.

Ed. instructor, James Nais- mith at a YMCA training gym in Massachu¬ setts. It was a sport designed for wintertime indoor recreation. Ninety eight years later and about four thousand miles away in our gymnasium, students are revolutionizing the sport—well, to a degree! Most basketball players would agree that the most awesome feeling is when you jump up and, with two hands, grab the hoop and stuff the ball down its throat. Indeed, learning to slam dunk is a talent. So learned Travis Ball, Roy Bissember, Mike Goudy and Rick Wade this year. After their games, they would please the crowds with their aeriel stunts. “They’re fun to watch, but I’ll stick to lay-ups,” smirked Joel Wolverton. The games always got the blood rushing and the adrenaline flowing. Fierce and in¬ tense competition seemed to get the fans pumped up more than the players! Running back and forth on the court, whipping passes between their legs, swishing outside shots— and, yes, even slam dunking the basketball— will always and forever will be a first-rate tradition. —A.

Snoqualamie qualms This was my first day of skiing. What did I feel? The thrill of a new challenge, appre¬ hension, fear of looking like a complete id¬ iot. I didn ' t know where to go, how to attach my ticket to my coat, what comfort was supposed to feel like in a ski boot—if in ¬ deed there was comfort in a ski boot. The scenery was absolutely magnifi- cient—at least the few glances I managed away from what my feet were doing. Then it happened. My feet were suddenly doing their own thing. In fact, they were suddenly over my head and my head implanted in a snow bank. Everyone passing by shouted directions about how to return to an upright position, but my legs couldn ' t follow those directions. Then I saw the size of that hill. They had to be kidding—Me? And how was I to handle that funny rope thing that moved people to the top? Then someone men¬ tioned there was a chair that took people even higher up! Horrors! And look at those people coming down the hill with their knees together — didn ' t they know what a wedge was? Oh well, I ' ll have it down pat by next week! —C.

Doesn t that beat all? THE BEAT. Another year made history. The students made an impact that would remain for all to see. Felt throughout the 180 school days, the beat continued to resonate. THE BEAT. It plummeted when students heard that the measles shot was required. It hid it ' s head when intramural teams argued with the referee, and held its breath when Sea Tac Pac caught fire on that memorable Halloween evening. THE BEAT. It ' s normal rhythm remained constant and steady during those ho-hum days. It became part of the daily routine when students toted a ton of books for their evening en¬ tertainment—homework! The unchanging routine of class, work, study, and meager amounts of sleep often permitted us to operate in a semi-automatic mode. THE BEAT. It pulsated into a spirited throb. It took an enthusiastic leap when students became involved with the Bus Organ campaign, and it reached unmeasurable heights when they heard Pomp and Circumstance. The BEAT. It fluctuated between highs and lows. It played a major part in our student life. It ' s magnetic force drew us to our classes, our work, and our church. It became our life. Now, really, doesn ' t that BEAT all? —P. Dietrich, Editor ! 120 Closing It was exciting to finally have some deep snow that didn ' t melt the next day! —Jon Oellrich THE BEAT. There it was again—that constant pulse in our subconscious mind. Though it was not always evident, we knew the memories we were creating would always bring back nolstagic feelings as the years passed. THE BEAT. It rose with our excitement when all around us the snow began to fall with great intensity and Washington—the evergreen state—became Washington, the winter wonderland. THE BEAT. During the drab winter months, it was often ignored. This became the time of great irrita¬ tions one day and great excitement the next. We found ourselves doing crazy things just to keep our sanity. Could the beat survive? THE BEAT. The pace quickened. The Four-year Sen¬ iors left for Mexico, the Seniors for College Days and Senior Skip. Campaign reward trips, long tours, ban¬ quets, track and field, projects, studies, and exams happened. Suddenly, there it was— GRADU¬ ATION. THE BEAT. What we finally discovered was that the beat we had lived with throughout the year was in reality the beat that binds us all together as family— the beat of relationships joined together by a single purpose and a single goal. —A.

Spring into Spring When winter drew to a close r we no longer had our coughs and runny noses. Spring had fi¬ nally come—time for baseball and laying in the sun. You knew romance was in the air when you looked around at couples everywhere. Banquets always added that extra special touch—especially the Jr. Sr. Banquet we liked so very much. The Seniors were finally recognized and we realized that soon it would be time to say goodbye. But little did we know their fate, some were not allowed to graduate. Spring brought something new this year—for some great joy, for others fear. A trip to Seattle Center with a computer date. Many were fearful of who would be their mate. Suddenly, FINALS WEEK was here—for most it brought tremendous fear. The week also brought school to a close and so our excitement rose. At last the day had come. For Seniors it was a very special one. May 28 they marched in the gym ' s aisle to graduate from our school in great style. —D.

Juniors line the west end of the gym to welcome the Sen¬ iors back after College Days at Walla Walla. A trip around the block During the last quarter, the Seniors semed to be gone on more trips than they seemed to be in class. They boarded the buses for Walla Walla College, Sun River, and Mexico—each trip with a unique purpose. Seniors from AAA monopolized most of the scheduled activities at Walla Walla Col¬ lege Days. Many attempted—and succeed¬ ed to win—scholarships, some just slept, and others made new friends and visited old ones. The highlight of the whole trip was the track meet. In order to keep with tradition, they had to win in a big way—and they did. Their last trip together as a class was to Sun River. During this six-day adventure, stu¬ dents went skiing, canoeing, horseback rid¬ ing, bicycling, white-water rafting, shop¬ ping, and having fun. This was an opportuni¬ ty to be together and cement their relationship one last time before finals. The many hours they spent together in traveling, conversation and activities were memory builders for many lasting friendships. The most memorable trip of the year was to Mexico with the Four-year Seniors to paint an elementary school in Tijuana. They spent three days painting, and felt consider¬ able satisfaction as they shared and gave of themselves. Another by-product of their en¬ deavors was the comradarrie they devel¬ oped with each other as they worked to¬ gether on this project to help someone else. P.

Final banquets April 16 was beautiful • spring afternoon when the Ju- • niors and Seniors entered into A Parisian Fantasy ' Chauf- feured in five buses to the old Seattle Union Station, they were escorted upon arrival by the Junior Class officers through a sparkling Eiffel Tower to candlelit tables. Everyone enjoyed the French and Italian cuisine while the Senior Quartet and the Pike Place Trio entertained and played din¬ ner music. Next was a slide show of the Seniors ' earlier days, and then an excursion on the Goodtime II cruise ship around Elliot Bay where everyone had a chance to solve the murder of an Agatha Christy mystery. Back at AAA, the couples bid each other a tender au revoir and they agreed it was one of the lovliest banquets they had attend¬ ed.

Next, some of the faculty did imper¬ sonations of the Seniors, 20 years from now, followed by a song to the Seniors asking the question, How do you do Senior class, how are you?! The memorable evening ended with everyone singing the class song Pray for Me. —P.

Make tracks to the field For months they had trained, worked, dieted and exercised for that very day—the day they would be representatives of their class and compete to the best of their ability. Whether it was for self-satisfaction or for the cheers of the crowd, their purposes all conglomerated on one cause. They all want¬ ed their class to win! The day was bright and sunny. Blankets were scattered over the field and were held down by avaricious yearbook signers and various cheering sections. Throughout the day, discus ' were thrown, long jumps were leaped, and the track was sprinted. Yells and screams of support were exerted for the competitors; then dead silence blanketed the finish line as everyone wondered who came in first—Tashya Lake or Dionne Rowe? There were additional events scheduled on our campus prior to our arrival at Olym¬ pic Junior High where the Track Field events took place. These included a five- mile run, bike race, high-jump, and archery competition.

Sophomores won¬ dered what all the fuss was about. Juniors chewed their nails to bloody stubs over their Chemistry final. Seniors wandered around walking over people and into things—with one sentence bobbing in front of their glassy-eyed stare: GET ME OUTTA HERE!! Graduation weekend was approached with bated breath. Seniors kept mental fin¬ gers crossed—praying that their worst nightmares wouldn ' t come true. Well ' El¬ der McLean would say, I ' m afraid you can ' t graduate. You failed a Bible test. Cold sweat. Major freak-out. How could I fail a Bible test and not know it? AAAARRRGGH!!! —at which point you realize how impossible this was. You knew when you failed a McLean test. Whew! As the weekend services began to pass without a hitch, the class relaxed. The speakers seemed to really have a message for them. The Class of ' 89, though unmista- kebly diversified, was a strong one, Mar¬ gie Lyman told them, because it had been joined by events and activities that had seri¬ ously impacted their lives—not just for now, but for eternity. If these halls could speak ... The walls heard it all, each little tear and sigh and footfall; the joy, the fear, the anguish, the whispered laughter, and innumerable se¬ crets of top scores, broken hearts, and God. The school will never be the same and nei¬ ther will the Seniors. —C. Oellrich Cathryn Schnackenberg and Dan Porter take their first steps up the aisle of the church towards Consecra¬ tion.
